So..I am more irritated because I just typed this long thing out all..and then the power went out right before i posted...argg...
OK soo..My bf and I have picked out a setting we liked at Jareds.. Similiar to this, but they are more pave set...
Anyways...I went in there today after work to have them take the diamond out of my mom and dad engagement ring...Well my guy that we work with was busy, so another guy helped me until he was off break. Well he steamed it and showed it to me under the microscope, and it looks beautiful, alot prettier than I expected. I had previously taken it to another place and they looked at it and said it was probably an H and SI1 at the least...so that was nice , but we werent sure on size, since the way it was set, I always estimated .75-1.0 carat. Anyways, my guy came and took it back for them to look at it and see if it would fit and whatever, and came back and said it would fit just had to change prongs because it was bigger, so I was excited and ask if he could please just take the diamond out so I could see it out of the setting in my ering setting, so I could make sure I liked it...
WELLL...they took it back, and Im sitting there for a while, I mean a while, because I helped a guy pick out an engagement ring for his gf...lol A couple times I looked back to see what they were doing in the jewlery repair since its all glass, and I see them like looking all over the place for something, and it hits me..OMG they probably lost my stone...and well sure enough about an hour of waiting total they came and told me that when they were taking it out of the setting, the stone popped out and bounced on the window sill, to the bench, and then to who knows where?? Well right after my guy told me it was lost the manager came over and assured me they would either fnd it, or replace it for me..It made me feel better...I waited a little longer but was getting hungry so they told me they would call me right away if they found the diamond or not.
I just have mixed emotions, Like i looked at it int he thing and it looked so beautful, I couldnt see any inclusions, and it sparkled so pretty, but I mean they say they will replace it, but with what? Ya know like clarity, cut, color??!?!? So im starting to freak out a little bit.. HOw should I feel?
Here are some pictures of the original setting post taking out the diamond (I knew I should have taken pics of it this morning..just got lazy...errgghhhh)
